MONEY AND CITY NEWS (FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.) CHRONICLE. —The settlement of the account in Consols, which took place to-day, was on al arger scale than has been usual for some time past, in consequence of extensive operations which were decided yesterday. The market opened rather flat, with money in demand, and the continuation until the opening of Consols in January ad vanced from to 4 per cent. Everything, however, passed off satisfactorily. Consols left off at 94 for money, and 9-1 i buyers for the opening in January. Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Reduced closed at 100:1- to 1; New ditto, 101 to 102 ; Long Annuities, 14 15-16 to 15 ; Exchequer, 66 to 68 prem. ; Bank Stock, 203 to 2031 ; and India Stock, 262 to 263. Foreign securities do not present anything new. Spa. nigh Active remains at 17* to 1 ; Deferred, 71 to ; Passive, to 4* ; Portuguese Five Cents, 31 to ; ditto, Three per Cents., 201 4 ; Dutch Five per Cents., at 1001 to ; ditto, Two-and-a-Half per Cents, 54 to 4 ; Belgian, 101 to ; Brazilian, 781 to 4 ; Colombian, 2, - 4 to 26; ; Chilian, 0 4 to 26 ; Mexican, 231 to - , and Pe ruvian, 17/ to The Share Market continues in some degree excited in conseTlence of the fraudulent transactions connected with Kyart's Patent Anti-Dry-Rot Company, more especially as some difference of opinion seems to exist as to who are to be sufferers ; but the more general feeling evidently is, that the Directors are liable for any defalcation or forgery which may be committed by their Managing Director or the person: to whom they intrusted the superintendence of affairs. No business, we believe, was transacted in the shares. As regards the other shares there is nothing par ticular to remark. Birmingham (old) left off at 83 to 83 prem. ; ditto (new) 24 to 25 prem. ; Southampton, 43i to 461 per share ; ditto (new), 201 to 214 prem. ; Great Western, 13 to 14 prem. ; Leeds and Manchester, 19 to 20 prem. ; Birmingham and Derby, 10 to 8 dis.. ; Eastern Counties, 11 to 1* dis. ; South Eastern, 5 to 4 dis. ; Brighton, 3-, 1 3 - to 2 dis. ; Blackwall, 2f, to 1 dis. ; and Greenwich, 16i to 17 per share. British Iron Shares are 111 t o 124 per share ; and General Mining Shares 12 to 13 per share. The shires of the Fire Preventive Company have been introduced within the last few days,and command a pre mium of I to /. The object of the invention, to carry out which this company has been formed is to render wood or other substances proof against ignition, and thus to confine a fire to the room or place in which it may have originated. Trials of the efficacy of the composition have been made publicly in London and Manchester, and we believe quite successfully ; but, as full particulars of those proceedings were given in the Public Journals at the time, it is not necessary now to dwell at any length on the subject. The exportation of the precious metals from the port of London, for the week ending Saturday last, the 24th inst., consisted, according to the official returns, of 200 ounces of gold coin, which were shipped for Hamburg ; 1,234 ounces of gold bars, forwarded to the same place, and 31,178 ounces of silver coin, of which 15,000 ounces were sent to Rotterdam, 10,171 ounces to the West Indies, and 6,000 ounces to Hamburg. HERALD.—This bas been settling day in the English Stock Market, and the arrangement of the account has, so far as it has progressed, passed off without any difficulty. The chief, or rather prominent, incidents of the past ac count have been that, notwithstanding the late scarcity of :money stock, it has become suddenly plentiful, and money has obtained the interest value of 3} to 4 per cent. on the Stock Exchange, which fixes the contango at about 3-16 per cent. upon the January account. TIMES.—The price of Gold at llamburgh is 436 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard Gold, gives an exchange of 13. and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13. B.:it follows that Gold is 1. 16 per cent. dearer at Ham ou-gh than in London. The premium on Gold at Paris is 8% per milie, which, at the E ng li s h Mi nt pr i ce of 3/. 17s. 1 - 01 d. per ounce for 'standard Gold, gives an exchange of 23. 36 . i, and the ex change at Paris on London at short being 25. 421, it follows that Gold is 0. 24 per cent. lower at Paris than in London_ The course of exchange at New York on London is 1091 per cent., and the par of e xc h ange b etween England and America being 109 2340 per Cent.,lit follows that the exchange is .07 per cent. against En g l an d. The formation in London of a Committee of Managers and Proprietors of Joint-stock Banking Companies for the protection of their interests in the approaching Session of Parliament, naturally attracts some attention. It cannot be denied that these parties have been treated unfairly by the Government in many instances, by impeding their ac tion after having consented to their formation, as if they had repented of that consent, and wished to damage them secretly as much as they could. This was more especially the case wherever the rights asserted by the new Banks came into contact with those claimed under the charter by the Bank of England, in respect of which the Government would have been liable to the charge of the greatest injus tice, had a private individual, and not a corporate body, become the object of it. The Joint-stock Banks within the range of the Bank charter are actually precluded, as it is understood, by law, from accepting bills at less than six months' date, though that is a process held indispensable to the conduct of a Bank at all, and to the most limited functions of banking. One would imagine that as soon as such a defect in the law was pointed out, a short Bill would have been introduced to remedy it, but this is not yet done, and the delay is further proof of the ill-will secretly entertained by the Government towards the Joint-stock Banks. Notwithstanding these impediments, however, the system is gradually taking deep root in the country ; new Banks are forming, and those already in existence are extending their business to a degree which many reflecting men look at with alarm, as leading to the creation of a new power in the country, capable of an ap plication of which the parties themselves have yet formed no notion. The power of Banks when acting together for a common purpose, is under our observation at this time with respect to the United States, and all appearances in dicate that the turn of England may come very shortly. There was only required for such a purpose a combination like that just adverted to ; and when it is found that the parties have power enough fos self-protection, it will follow that they have also enough to enable them to advance fur ther. For these reasons, all that is done by this Committee of Joint-stock Banks will be, and deserves to be, carefully watched. Advices have been received from Monte Video, with dates from the 30th of August to the 12th of September inclusive. The political situation of affairs there remained much the same. The place was still surrounded with Rivera's troops, and the Commissioners appointed to treat with him had returned without being able to accomplish the object of their mission. Their report to Government bad not, however, been made public. All vessels had been prohibited from loading or unloading in the ports of Mal donado, Colonia, or Higueritas, without a special license, those ports being occupied by Rivera's troops. The blockade of Buenos Ayres was carried on with more severity than before was the case. The small craft captured in attempting to pass the French squadron were detained, and so to continue until the blockade was raised or war formally declared against Buenos Ayres ; in the latter event, they were to be confiscated at once as lawful prizes, but if the blockade came to be raised, they were to be given up. The Monte Videan Government had purchased and armed a small Spanish schooner brig, and it was said that 800 men had been despatched from Buenos Ayres, headed by one of its best officers, to assist in the defence of Py sandre. The merchants complained that, owing to the extraordinary vigilance of the French cruisers, no supplies of hides could be procured from the interior provinces of Buenos Ayres. The exchange was 433 d. to 44d. The present receipt of letters from Monte Video adds one other to the proofs which have heretofore been adverted to on various occasions of the negligent manner in which the packet service is carried on so far as the Post -office has to do with it. As it is a subject of severe animadversion with merchants in the City, the facts are worthy notice, and ought to attract attention elsewhere. By the arrival to-day, alluded to, duplicate letters of the 30th of August have been received, the originals of which were for warded by the packet to Rio Janeiro, which was not to proceed on to England before December, so that in this case the duplicates have come to hand long befor e the originals will probably b e rece i ve d. The further dates, being up to the 12th of September from Monte Video, are thirteen days later than even the December packet will bring. This extraordinary backwardness or irregularity in the packet Post-offi c e s erv i ce , would be blameable under any c ircumstances, but much more dur ing'. times of such anxiety for the mercantile classes as the present unsettled situation of a part of the world where those concerned have heavy interests and property at is en d r ect par tof stake, liable to all the c hances attendant on a state of hostilities internal and externa l between es. At such a moment early intelligence co is nt an object the greatest importance, and it stillmore discreditable to the Post-office that their arrangements should be so glar ingly. defective under such circumstances as to leave the merchants dependent on the casual arrivali of trading ves sels—those vessels, it may be observed, not built for speed, but with a view to the stowage of heavy freights, and yet notwithstanding not unfrequently outsai.i mg the • '''packets. POST.—The English Funds receded per cent. this morning, a variation which seems to have been produced chiefly by the operation of the Account, this being the day fixed for the settlement. The decline was, however, only temporary. No additional fact of importance has transpired concern ing the fraud to which we made allusion yesterday, on the THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1838. part of an individual connected with a Joint-stock Company. The amount of scrip certificates which have been re-issued without the authority of the Directors of the Company re ferred to has been variously estimated, but nothing upon which the smallest reliance can be placed is yet known on the subject. We may now mention, as the same has been done by one or two other papers, that the person charged with the abstraction of the certificates in question is a Mr. Terry, who was acting as managing director or treasurer of Ryan's Anti-Dry-Rot Company, the party defrauded. It was reported this evening that he had been in communi cation with the solicitor to the Company, and that security had been offered to the amount of his deficiencies. The statement is not credited. We do not hear of any business having been done in the shares since the discovery of Mr. Terry's proceedings. LAW INTELLIGENCE. ROLLS' COURT, Nov. 27. KINDER V. LORD ASHBURTON. This case came before the Court on a general demurrer for want of equity. His Lordship the MASTER of the ROLLS, after going at great length through all the facts of the case, said that he was not surprised that the defendants should take the earliest opportunity of having this case disposed of. He thought it necessary that the inspectors of bankrupts should be brought before the Court, and, therefore, he should allow the demurrer for want of parties. The plain tiffs, however, to have leave to amend. He would give no costs. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 27. SHIPMAN V. BRIGGS. This was an action for a malicious arrest. Mr. Sergeant Bompas and Mr. Knowles appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Sergeant Talfourd and Mr. Humphery for the defendant. It appeared from the evidence that the plaintiff had been an innkeeper at Birmingham, and, having taken a large inn in London, became rather embarrassed in his circum stances. That the defendant had been employed by him in the course of his business, and that there was an ac count between them. Under these circumstances the de fendant arrested the plaintiff for the sum of 401., and sub sequently prosecuted his action against him in the Cour. of Exchequer, but did not recover in that action. The question in the present cause was whether the plaintiff had had a reasonable and probable cause for arresting the de fendant. A lengthened correspondence between these par ties respecting their private transactions was given in e%i dence, and witnesses were called to speak to the state of the accounts between them. The defendant proved a balance in his favour ; but on the part of the plaintiff it was contended that at the time of the arrest the defendant had no means of striking a balance and ascertaining whether any, or what, sum was due to him. The case turned almost entirely on the settlement of the account between the plaintiff and defendant, without presenting any points of general interest. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE summed up, and the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 151. ARCHES COURT, Nov. 27. THE OFFICE OF THE JUDGE PROMOTED BY THE REV. ARCHDEACON LAW V. THE REV - GAFIER. This is a criminal proceeding by articles instituted by the Very Rev. the Archdeacon Law against the Rev. Mr. Gafier, for brawling in the chapel of St. Mark—a chapel of ease to the church of St. Peter and St. Paul, with Bien corn and Whitcomb annexed, in the city of Bath, and in the diocese of the Bishop of Bath and Wells. The facts of the case are these :—The chapel in question was erected in 1832, under the direction of the Commissioners of the Church Building Act, and consecrated soon afterwards, and the Rev. Mr. Gafier was appointed officiating clergy man thereunto by the Rev. Charles Cooke, the incum bent of the mother church, in Alarch, 1836, the pew-rents being assigned as the stipend. Mr. Gafier obtained the ordinary license from the Bishop of the diocese, and per formed the duties of Minister of the Chapel. In the course of last year the incumbent died, and the Very Reverend the Archdeacon Law succeeded to the parish Church. That Reverend Gentleman in May appointed Mr. Valpy to the Chapel, who also procured the proper license from the Bishop of Bath and Wells. On the Ist of June Mr. Valpy, having been appointed by the existing incumbent, and having received the usual license, claimed the pulpit of the Chapel, which was refused by the Reverend Mr. Gafier, who performed the service on that day. It was subsequently agreed between the parties that this suit should be instituted in the Ecclesiastical Court to try the rights of the succeeding incumbent to revoke the appoint ment of his predecessor, and to place another Clergyman in the pulpit of the Chapel. Articles pleading these facts, and praying for ecclesiastical censure against the party cited, were offered for admission. Dr. PHILLIMORE (with whom was Dr. ADDAMS) ap peared on behalf of the Rev. Mr. Gafier, and opposed the admissibility of the articles. The Learned Advocate referred to the various Acts of Parliament bearing on the point, to the 57th of Geo. 111. c. 99, to the Church Building Act of 1818, and to others, and contended that, endowed as this Chapel was, Mr. Gafier could not be considered an ordi nary curate, and the law applying to such cases had no reference to this. He was appointed minister of this cha pel, and not the curate of the incumbent of the Mother Church. If his appointment to this chapel bore any re semblance to a curacy, it was to a perpetual curacy. The Commissioners of the Church Building Act never intended in framing the law that the clergymen of these chapels should be changed at the death of the incumbent. The law was not made to increase their patronage. The Learned Advocate also opposed the admission of the ar ticles, on the ground that the question intended to be brought before the Court was not raised in them. Her Majesty's Advocate and Dr. Haggard were on the other side, and contended that by the death of the in cumbent the license of Mr. Gafier was rendered invalid. The successor has the right to consent to the nomination of the person previously appointed, or to place another clerk in his stead. The Learned Advocate referred to the sen tence of consecration, by which the chapel was appointed as a chapel of ease to the mother church, and by which its allegiance to her was shown. The minister of this chapel was the curate of the incumbent, and according to the universally admitted law with regard to curates, a new incumbent might take a new curate. It had been suggested that the office of minister of this chapel somewhat resembled a perpetual curacy, but the mode of induction was entirely different—the minister of this chapel only required to go through the same ceremony as ordinary curates, whereas perpetual curates had to de clare their assent and consent to the books of Common Prayer, to take the oath of allegiance at the Quarter Ses sions or in Westminster Hall, with many other things of a similar nature, which were requisite, and which if they did not perform they were not perpetual curates. The articles raised the question, and were entitled to admission. The Learned Judge was prepared to give his opinion, but as that was the case, he would allow the cause to stand over, that the articles might be offered for admission in a different shape. His present opinion undoubtedly was, and he be lieved that the Court must subsequently come to that con clusion, that the occupant of the chapel was unable to hold that office contrary to the wishes of the new incumbent. The case should stand over, in order that the articles may be altered, and the question fairly raised. GRANT V. GRANT. This was a cause of divorce by reason of adultery, pro moted by Captain Grant against Maria Theresa, his wife. The suit was brought by letters of request from the Court of the Commissary of the Bishop of Winchester. Dr. I'hillimore will appear for the wife on the next Court day, until which time we defer our report. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Nov. 27. WILLIAM MATTHEWS THE YOUNGER'S BANKRUPTCY. This was a sitting appointed for the further proof of debts and the final examination of the bankrupt, a grocer and cheesemong-er, of Kingsland-road. Mr. J. Lewis claimed to prove on three bills of exchange of 201. each, which had been given in settlement of an action by the bankrupt, in which he was concerned, on a bill of exchange for 761. Mr. ASHLEY was understood to contend, contra, that a doubt appeared to exist in the mind of the bankrupt whether or no a person named De Metz, an attorney's clerk, who with the bankrupt had been engaged in bill transactions, had paid part off. The bankrupt would also swear that he had never received consideration for his acceptances. Some recriminatory conversation passed between Mr. Lewis and the bankrupt. Mr. Lewis was then examined as to whether he had re ceived any money from De Metz in payment of any part of the present or former bills ? He replied in the negative. The bankrupt swore that De Metz said he would. Sir C. F. WILLIAMS wanted to know why the bankrupt had allowed himself to be a pa:ty to bill transactions if his business had been going on prosperously previous ? The bankrupt said that De Metz had come to him, and, they having been schoolfellow s , he was led away by a plaus ible tale. It had, however, been his ruin. At the conclusion of some " proofs," Sir C. F. WILLIAMS said—Bankrupt, why did you not keep an account ? Bankrupt—l could not ; I was distracted by the persecu tion. I was like one out of his mind. Sir C. F. WILLIAMS admitted the proof. The bankrupt then passed his last examination, the offi cial assignee considering the balance -sheet satisfactory. HENRY GRAVES'S BANKRUPTCY. A sitting of the Court under these proceedings took place for the further proof of debt s . T he bankrupt is the par ty who carried on business as a ta il or in the Strand, but went off to America apparel, a underconsiderabl e t te quantitypr ete co c) o f f cloth and articles of weari ng engaging in an export trade of this description of goods to Montreal. He did not surrender, and consoquently at the rising of the Court was publicly proclaimed in the hall. After several debts had been admitted to proof, the sitting was adjourned. An officer invested with due authority has been dispatched some time across the Atlantic, in the hopes of capturing him. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. YESTERDAY. NEW COURT. CRIME AND DESTITUTION.LWithr/M Hill, aged 38, by trade a shoeing smith, was indicted for stealing a pair of clogs, of the value of half-a-crown, the property of J. Towers. The evidence against the prisoner was conclu sive, as he was taken immediately after the robbery with the property in his possession. —Verdict, Guilty. The prisoner was again indicted for that he, at the last June Sessions, holden in this Court, was convicted of a trifling larceny, and sentenced to two months' hard labour. He was again found Guilty. The COMMON-SERGEANT inquired how it was that he had made his appearance a second time ? The prisoner replied that he came out of the House o f Correction in August last, penniless, and with a lost cha racter. He had travelled eight hundred miles since, in a fruitless search of work. In fact, the erection of the Lon don and Birmingham Railway, and its collateral branches, had thrown more than 2,000 shoeing-smiths out of employ. The COMMON-SERGEANT—But because you are poor you should not commit theft ; you should gO to your parish. Where do you belong to ? Prisoner—Birmingham, my Lord. It's useless for me to apply for relief at my parish under the New Poor-law system. I am an able-bodied man, and they tell me to go and seek for work ; and this I have been unable to do. After some further observations the prisoner proceeded— " My Lord, there are so many clauses in the Poor-law Act, some of which clash with one another, that nobody seems to understand them.—(Laughter.) I had no food for two days, or a bed for three nights, before I committed this theft, and I did it on purpose to get into custody ; what could I do ?" COMMON-SERGEANT—YeS, and subjected yourself to transportation. Prisoner—l was aware of what I was about. Ido not expect to find transportation a bed of roses, but I must submit to my fate. I would rather go out of the country than starve in it. COMMON-SERGEANT—Suppose that we take a lenient view of your case, what can you do when you are liberated ? Prisoner—l really don't know. lam a good workman, and would labour for 2s. a day if I could get it. Alderman FAREBROTHER—You had better go to Bir mingham and apply to the overseers. Prisoner—They would not receive me. Alderman FAREBROTHER—Go to the workhouse and sit down, and tell them they must relieve you. Prisoner—Were I to do so they would soon show me the door and order me to walk out. I never had a farthing of the parish in my life. Before I committed this theft I had sold my shirt and waistcoat. The policeman who apprehended him confirmed the statement made by the prisoner. . - The COMMON-SERGEANT lamented that persons should be driven to crime from the want of proper relief. Be lieving the relation made by the prisoner, the Court would depart from its ordinary rule. The sentence of the Court was that he be imprisoned two days and discharged ; con sequently he might now go and seek for employment. The prisoner inquired whether there was any fund from whence he could draw a few shillings to buy a shirt and a few necessaries to start with ? The COMMON-SERGEANT said there was no such fund. It was remarkable that among the many charitable in stitutions in the metropolis there was not one where, in proper cases, temporary relief could be afforded to dis charged prisoners. The ALDERMAN consulted with the Deputy-Governor, and then intimated to the man that he might inquire at the gaol whether anything was left for him. The poor fellow left the bar with apparent gratitude. STRANGE PROSECUTION.—EIizabeIIs Griffiths, a pretty girl, 18 years of age, was indicted for stealing a brooch and other articles of small value, the property of W. Sulman, her master. Mr. BALLANTINE defended the prisoner. Mrs. Sulman deposed that her husband lives in Stock well -street, Greenwich, and the prisoner had been in their service down to the time of this transaction being disco vered, when she was obliged to go away in consequence of illness. 'While she was away she found the articles in her box. She should not have prosecuted, but the girl's own father insisted upon her being given in charge, but for which she would have taken her back. Mr. Alderman FAREBROTHER said that the conduct of the TatLer was most brutal and revolting; a more shameful instance of the want of parental feeling ne had never known. The COMMON-SERGEANT lamented the fate of the poor girl, and wished to know what was to become of her. A gentleman in Court said he had known the prisoner for a long time, and having a good opinion of her, he would receive her into his family, and take care of her. For this spontaneous act of kindness the Court spoke in terms of eulogy, and the Court rang with the loud plaudits of the auditory, which, although irregular, was on this oc casion indulged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. 130 W-STREET. John Hannon, who was charged with forging the names of the Cashier and President of the Toronto Bank, Upper Canada, was brought up for further examination. Mr. Masters attended to prosecute, and Mr. Wooler appeared for the prisoner. No further evidence was offered, and the prisoner was remanded until the 10th of next month, when it is ex pected the prosecutors will have heard from Toronto. James Hart, a letter carrier in the General Post-office, was brought up for final examination, charged with stealing a letter containing a 5 1. note. To establish the charge, Mr. Peacock, Solicitor to the Post-office, brought forward several witnesses, after the evidence of whom the prisoner declined making any defence, and was fully committed for trial. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday Mr. Barryntore, pawnbroker, of Baldwin's gardens, Leather-lane, Holborn, appeared to an informa tion to answer the complaint of Birch, a common informer, for not having specified in the duplicate of several articles pledged a full description, &c., according to the statute. Mr. Humphries, the solicitor, who attended for the de fendant, took an objection, which, he contended, must prove fatal to the proceedings. Mr. BURRELL ordered Birch to pay 75., which he con sented to do, and lay another information. MARLBOROUGH- STREET. Yesterday John Morgan was brought before Mr. Co. NANT and Mr. Couarrov,*charged with having embezzled various sums of money belonging to his employer, Mr. Taylor, ironmonger, Noel-street. After Mr. Taylor's statement,' Mr. CONANT decided upon remanding the p r i soner un til S atur d ay , i n order to give time to Mr. Parkes to collect his evidence. Q UEEN- S Q UA RE. NEW HACKNE Y CARRIAGE ACT.—Richard Phillip: was charged by Mr. Barefoot, an inspector of the B di vision of police, with plying for hire, not being duly licensed. Prisoner was fined 31., and committed for one month to hard labour, in default. UNION—HALL. ( Continued from The Sun of yesterday. ) ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF THE DUKE OF NORMANDY. Sophia Upton, in continuation, deposed—The prisoner said that he lived in Greenwich. He wished to sleep in the house, but I said there was not room. Mr. JEREMY—Did he not come again on Saturday ? Now recollect yourself. — n O e h , came yes, Sir ; that and was takenwas the a day way after b y the h D the police. uke was gotl I' si Witness —Oh, e m t .s e s soup for him, but he did not have it. The Duke's family dined on Friday about five or a quarter past five o'clock. The Duke and Mr. D e l a b ar went out on Friday while the prisoner was in the house. The prisoner left about a quarter of an hour afterwards. (The witness then proceeded to detail a conversation she had with him.) After the deposition of several other witnesses were taken, Mr. Jeremy said—l shall postpone, for the present, hearing any further evidence of that nature. The evidence already adduced is quite strong enough to justify a further remand. Two or three points which require strict investi gation, and which appear to be very material to this in quiry, have arisen, and I shall therefore remand the pri soner till a future day ; and I shall take care that the ne cessary witnesses have notice to attend. The prisoner was then removed in custody to the lock-up, and the Magistrate proceeded to the Public-office to dispose of the usual charges: The prisoner, throughout his lengthy examination, treated the matter very lightly, and repeatedly laughed at the wit nesses when they spoke of any circumstance in any way casting a suspicion upon his being connected with the offence with which he stands charged. WRECK OF THE LADY CHARLOTTE. -.By a letter received this morning from Skull, county of York, we are informed that Mr. Henry Davey, proprietor of a diving apparatus, has succeeded in recovering upwards of 70,000/. of specie, 115,000/. of which was on board that vessel at the time she was wrecked, near that place. It is confidently hoped that the greater part of the remainder will be recovered.— Wakiford chronicle. PRICES OF CANALS, DOCK STOCKS, SSETR.ANCE COMPANIES,&c. &c. &c. LONDON, TUESDAY, NOV. 27.

SUGAR.— Although the advices received from the various West India islands since Tuesday last are of a favourable cha racter, the negroes generally having resumed their field labours, and the estates were at full work, still there has again been a good and general demand for British Plantation Sugar from the grocers, who are still anxious to get into stock at the present moderate prices ; the refiners have also purchased to a fair extent, and the rates previously established have been fully supported for sugars under 58s, whilst those at and above that figure have brought 6d advance, the supply being still short ; on Wednesday the private purchases were 500, on Thursday 700, and on Friday 1,000 hhds and trs, besides which 224 hhds 5 trs Barbadoes have been offered at auction, and sold with spirit at prices is above those of the former sale, fine brought 66s to 675, good 64s to 64s 6d, mid to good mid 60s 6d to 63s 6d, ord 58s 6d to 59s 9d, so that during the past week upwards of 2,400 bhds, &c. have been sold, which is a large quantity,considering that during the two previous ones 9,000 hhds. &c. were taken for actual consumption : there is every appearance that the present rates wilt be maintained for the next two or three months, and perhaps a slightadvance may take place, the town and country dealers bolding by no means large stocks ; the consumption going on is very good; the bulk of the supplies have ,been received from West India this season, and no arrivals of moment can be expected from Mauri tius before February next; the surplus in the stocks has fur ther decreased, and the deliveries have increased ; there has again been no arrival, whereas during the same period in 1837 1,400 hhds, &c., were imported; the refiners are at full work, and are likely to continue so for some time, the :quantity of goods ready for delivery being very small, and are much wanted by the home trade, who are barely supplied; from the Ist January to the present period 131,000 casks have been re ceived, against 111,000 during the same period last year; the average Gazette price is upwards of lOs lower than at this time in 1837 ; the lowest point of the market for brown is now 50s, and the highest for fine yellow 665, with the exception of Barbadoes. This afternoon at public sale 133 casks Barbadoes, and 282 hhds 19 trs 41 brls St. Lucia were offered, which met with a good demand ; the former brought very full prices, fine 65s 6cl to 675, middling to good 60. 6cl to 65s ; the latter went rather dearer foilcoloury descriptions : other sorts sold at pre vious rates, fine yellow brought 603 6d to 64s 6d, good mid dling to good 56s to 595, and good brown to middling yellow 52s to 55s per cwt. REFINED.—Lumps equal to the standard have brought 755., rather under 735, and 703 a 72s for common and brown, the few orders here for double crushed are at 35s a 365, and the refiners would not be inclined to sell under 40s whilst the home trade continue to pay 75s for standard lumps, but no price has yet been fixed. Treacle con tinues to find ready buyers, and the supply being small rather higher prices have been obtained, 28s a 28s 6d has been paid for common, and 295. 6d a 31s for patent and the best old made ; pieces and good descriptions of Bastards have been in good demand, at their former currency, but for ord sorts of the latter there are still few buyers ; Candy is without altera tion ; for Dutch Crush e d S ugar 33 s i s st il l requ i red. MAURITIUS.—A steady demand has prevailed by private contract for yellow, and the better descriptions of brown for the scale, as well as for refining, and fully previous rates have been obtained, but for ordinary sorts of the latter under 45s there are very few buyers either for home consumption or export; a t p u bli c sa l e 640 bags sold readily, low to middling brown at 45s 6d to 48s, middling greyish yellow 55s 6d to 56s 6d, good middling %ellow 57s 6cl to 58s.
